On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took approximately seventy Americans captive. This terrorist act triggered the most profound crisis of the Carter presidency and began a personal ordeal for Jimmy Carter and the American people that lasted 444 days.

  • The hostage crisis took place because the Americans forced Iranians to live under a dictator for over 20 years.

  • @IRGCPasdaran No I am not a Jew. I do support Israel though. No Israeli ever strapped a bomb to their chest and blew themselves up in a shopping mall. There is nothing regal about you...you are a living piece of shit.

  • @Einsteinbomb Muslims do not believe in the concept of liberty. We do not want to live in a society where people have the liberty to dress and have casual sex with people they are not married to. Thess actions are seen as unGodly and lead to negative things in the society. A strict dress code and segragating sexes never hurt anyone however I can think of many bad things that happen when these rules are not enforced. I see it everyday.

    "Many societies have quotas in the US its called ""affirmative action"".

    Affirmative action refers to equal opportunity employment measures that Federal contractors and subcontractors are legally required to adopt. This in fact is not the same case because affirmative action has set the playing field to allow equal opportunity and NOT a GUARANTEE. It allows the same opportunity to apply but not actually set a specific limit on people like quotas in Iran work.

    "Women in Iran do go to regular schools its just that there is segragation on sexes in many places so that men and women wont fornicate."

    Now why would you care if one fornicates? Is this not something that is no one else's business but the consulting adults. Nobody has a right to segregates sexes in society on the premise of sexes because it undermines the notion of freedom and expression of the private individual. Some one else fornicating is not our own businessmen.

  • @jihadifanclub

    "In the US "No shoes no shirt no service" and women cant go topless in public but men can."

    That's not really a dress code as nobody is enforcing what you wear is appropriate but rather that you are wearing something and not exposing yourself. These laws on ""No shoes no shirt no service"" are not government sanctioned but rather policies constructed by privates businesses for their own well being.

  • i hate iran, but this time i speak for iran. this is just another stupid propaganda made by americans, depicting iran as an islamic state, then blaming islam.

    just as they depict every country with muslim majority population and whatever the governments of these countries do, they blame islam, while they know very well that they arent islamic governments, but anti-islamic governments, created by the same ppl who spread this propaganda.

  • @Einsteinbomb As Muslims we dont believe that what Iran did is going backwards for women. Every society has a dress code. In the US "No shoes no shirt no service" and women cant go topless in public but men can. Women in Iran do go to regular schools its just that there is segragation on sexes in many places so that men and women wont fornicate. Many societies have quotas in the US its called "affirmative action". BOTH men and women are subject to stoning and only in extreme cases.

  • @jihadifanclub

    I agree that Iran is not a good regime. When the Shah was overthrown the Iranian 1967 Family Protection Law was overturned, females were required to dress appropriately, state sponsored sex-segregated in beaches, and women were barred from attending regular schools. The revolution in essence went backwards in women's rights. Even today the women in the job markets are faced with quotas. And not to mention women still are subjected to death by stoning.

  • @Einsteinbomb The regime of Iran today is not a good. I feel it is not good because Islam is not properly practiced. I believe women are well off in Iran because the universities are full of women, women can own businesses, women are also free to stay home and be house wives as well. Women may not be able to wear what they want but dressing in a modest fashion is better than wearing clothing where men can objectify them.

  • @jihadifanclub

    Yes true, but is it any better today? When you look at it, women in Iran today have even less rights then when the Shah ruled.

  • @MrSeymour181 Actually it is absolute Truth! The CIA and the British overthrew Mossedeq in 1953 and replaced him with the Shah in order to gain access to Iranian oil.
